February 14: A day of good, the bad and ugly

From Kenechukwu Ezeonyejiaku Lagos

February 14, popularly known as Valentine’s Day is set to bring memories of last year’s celebration. The situation seems unabated on February 14, 2018 when Ibeh Blessing Nneoma’s life was under threat as a result of drumming support for one of the opposition party (name withheld) in Nigeria.

It could be recalled during the 2015 general election in Lagos State, the said Ibeh was consciously organising and converging some college students for a rally and with the aim of introducing the youths to the then factional leader of the party.

She was also instrumental to the victory of Hon. Jude Emeka Idimogu who was a flag bearer who contested as a member of House of Assembly in 2015.

That ruling party (APC) felt she supported the other party whereas both candidates by tribe are Igbos with the premonition that she might have been working against the candidate of their choice.

That her support for PDP back in 2015 and in the present political dispensation is the reason why she would be challenged and if possible get rid of.

At various times she has survived assassination attempt particularly around March, 2018. This invariably has necessitated her fleeing Nigeria with her daughter as a result of her home been set on fire at about 2:00hrs on that fateful Saturday March, 2018.
